⁵ Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man's days,

⁸ But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

²⁶ Behold, God is great, and we know him not; The number of his years is unsearchable.

² Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

³ Thou turnest man to destruction, And sayest, Return, ye children of men.

⁴ For a thousand years in thy sight Are but as yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.

¹² But thou, O Jehovah, wilt abide for ever; And thy memorial `name' unto all generations.

²⁴ I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: Thy years are throughout all generations.

²⁵ Of old didst thou lay the foundation of the earth; And the heavens are the work of thy hands.

²⁶ They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; Yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; As a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

²⁷ But thou art the same, And thy years shall have no end.

¹² And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail.
